Applegate Lake

We had made plans to go to Applegate Lake with everyone, but it ended up just being our family and the Overton family.

After breakfast, we loaded up, bought snacks, bought gas and were off. We had vague directions so we weren't too sure how to get there but we all found it!

For $5 parking fee we got to spent almost 4 hours swimming in the lake. There was a long grassy hill that lead down to the lake. We put our stuff in the shade under some trees, applied sunscreen and got in the water. It was so nice. 

I honestly was shocked that it wasn't crowded but there were only a few other families there. The water was a great temperature and clear enough that you could see the bottom. Everyone had a blast.

 

After swimming for a while we all got out to take a break. I was still in the water chatting when Courtney came running down yelling that the squirrels had eaten our food!! About 4 squirrels had gotten into our food bag and had begun eating our pretzels and bread. Bryan and Ethan went after  them!

When we had dried off and were getting hot, we decided to get back in the lake for a while longer. The kids had so much fun!!

We eventually got tired and so we packed up and split up. Part of the Overton clan are on their way to pick up our race packets from Ashland and we are on our way to pick up our race packets from Central Point. (I will explain later.)

We will meet back at Kelly's house for dinner tonight. I have a really fun family!
